McCulloch Park   Broadway and Parkview

Size in acres: 4.1

Since 1864



McCulloch Park is located at the intersection of Broadway and Parkview.  For more detailed location information, check out the General Park Map,  McCulloch Park Map or Driving Directions.

History:  McCulloch Park was acquired from Hugh McCulloch, a Fort Wayne resident and treasury secretary under Presidents Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant.  The donated land was used as a public cemetery until those buried there were relocated to Lindenwood Cemetery for reasons of sanitation.  McCulloch Park features a historic bandstand and the memorial grave site of Indiana's fourth governor, Samuel Bigger.  Governor Bigger remains in his original resting place because he had no family to authorize a reburial.
